Checkout chassis chat platform

ABSTRACT

A computerized method for integrating message-based services with external execution environments includes receiving from a first external execution environment a request to access message-based services of a messaging software. A processor determines whether the first external execution environment includes a pre-existing relationship with the messaging software. If no, the processor requests access to a second external execution environment on behalf of the first external execution environment. The processor receives a response from the second external execution environment granting the access; and the processor grants the request from the first external execution environment to access the message-based services in the messaging service while integrating services from the second external execution environment to the messaging software. If yes, the processor identifies parameters associated with the pre-existing relationship and grants the request from the first external execution environment.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This is a nonprovisional patent application of the provisional patent application, Ser. No. 62/385,241, filed on Sep. 8, 2016, whose disclosure is incorporated by reference in its entirety herein.

FIELD OF INVENTION

This invention generally relates to artificial intelligent software applications instantiated in a messaging software that handle cross-platform processing of commands.

BACKGROUND

The Internet is one of the most significant innovations in bringing people together, despite the physical distances between them. It paves the way for more interactions between people. For example, electronic mail, one of the most frequently used communication means in the Information Age, could not be so prevalent without the Internet.

As communication devices become mobile, so are communication means. While voice communications via telephone numbers are still the norm, short messaging or text messages are becoming the default communication method. Moreover, these text messages have evolved to be capable of handling more than just alphanumerical contents. For example, messaging software is capable of allowing text messages in the form of “chat messages” or “instant messages” to include hyperlinks, voice messages, graphics, images, videos, and animations such that they capture the full range of expressions and emotions that the participants wish to convey.

As such, there is a desire to build an all-inclusive or an all-capable messaging software to handle all aspects of a user's activities. While this may be desirable, this in-app architecture requires the app/software itself includes all necessary software infrastructure, data structure, data schemas, protocol layers, encryption layer, encryption keys, etc., to be fully comprehensive. This would inevitably increase the complexity of the software and significantly increases the risk of bugs, security holes, virus attacks, as well as privacy loopholes, etc. Moreover, despite the increased capabilities of mobile devices, the messaging software with such design still suffers issues of limited resources, such as limitation on power supply, data storage, or processing power.

It is desirable therefore to further expand the scope of the activities to enable chat participants to perform many additional tasks other than chats or conversing via the messaging software without adding burdens to the messaging software/app. It is also desirable to enable seamless transfer of information or data across software boundaries from the messaging software/app.

SUMMARY

Embodiments of the invention create flexibilities that elevate the capabilities of a messaging software/app. In addition, embodiments of the invention provide a base layer of information infrastructure for a messaging software, such as a chat app/software, to communicate with another app/software or to a server hosted by another party. In a further embodiment, aspects of the invention provide a seamless integration of external execution environments to the messaging software such that the messaging software may provide is message-based or message-centric services to the external execution environment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

The present invention may now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part hereof, and which show, by way of illustration, specific exemplary embodiments by which the invention may be practiced. These illustrations and exemplary embodiments may be presented with the understanding that the present disclosure is an exemplification of the principles of one or more inventions and may not be intended to limit any one of the inventions to the embodiments illustrated. The invention may be embodied in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the invention to those skilled in the art. Among other things, the present invention may be embodied as methods, systems, computer readable media, apparatuses, or devices. Accordingly, the present invention may take the form of an entirely hardware embodiment, an entirely software embodiment, or an embodiment combining software and hardware aspects. The following detailed description may, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense.

Referring now to FIG. 1, a diagram illustrates a system of a seamless transition between a smaller display device and a larger display device during purchase interactions according to one embodiment of the invention. The system 100 includes a number of participants, such as a messaging software 102, a data payload execution platform 104, a merchant 106 and a user 114. In one example, the data payload execution platform 104 and the merchant 106 may be considered as external execution environment with respect to the messaging software 102. In another embodiment, the messaging software 102, the data payload execution platform 104, and the merchant 106 include a number of hardware components associated therewith. For example, the messaging software 102 may be stored in a memory of a mobile computing device (see also FIGS. 7 and 8) and the mobile computing device includes processor(s) for executing the messaging software 102. The messaging software 102 may be made available to the user 114 via a user interface (graphical or audio) such that the user 114 may interact with the messaging software 102. Moreover, the messaging software 102 may issue computer-executable links, commands, instructions, etc., to other software, apps, hardware, or the like via an application programming interface (API). In another embodiment, the messaging software 102 may issue computer-executable links embedding instructions or commands for the user 114 to select the computer-executable links via the user interface.

Similarly, the data payload execution platform 104 may include server(s) (see also FIG. 9), database, or the like. The data payload execution platform 104 may be interfaced with the user 114 via an app or software installed or instantiated on the mobile device as the messaging software 102. In a further example, the data payload execution platform 104 may be a payment processing system, a payment network, or the like. The interfaced app or software of the data payload execution platform 104 may be a checkout app, a wallet app, or the like. The data payload execution platform 104 may further communicate with other systems, such as server(s) run or operated by banking institutions, etc. In one embodiment, the data payload execution platform 104 may generate computer-executable links, commands or instructions for consumption by the messaging software 102 and/or the merchant 106.

Also, the merchant 106 may be a content provider (e.g., news feeds, web content) or a provider of goods or services that may conduct business with the user 114. The merchant 106 may include its computer systems that handle inventory management, warehouse management, order processing, or the like. The merchant 106 may further include a web portal displaying one or more goods or services for purchase or transaction with the user 114 and the user 114 may be able to visit the web portal from the messaging software 102. In another embodiment, the merchant 106 may generate or create computer-executable links for user 114 to interact or select. In a further embodiment, the merchant 106 may generate computer-executable links, commands or instructions for consumption by the messaging software 102 and/or the data payload execution platform 104.

In one embodiment, the messaging software 102 may include a messaging ID 108 associated with the messaging software 102. In one example, the messaging ID 108 may include information of the user 114 (based on what is available on the messaging software 102), version information of the messaging software 102, hardware identification of the mobile device on which the messaging software 102 is executed, or the like. Similarly, the data payload execution platform 104 may include a platform ID 110 that may identify the user 114 with the data payload execution platform 104, version information of the data payload execution platform 104, hardware identification of the mobile device on which the data payload execution platform 104 is executed, or the like. Likewise, the merchant 106 may include a provider ID 112 that may include a merchant name, a merchant's contact information (e.g., telephone, website address, address), a merchant's social media links, etc.

Referring now to FIG. 2, a diagram depicts flows of information to and from a messaging software/app according to one embodiment of the invention. In one embodiment, a connection between the platform ID 110 and the messaging ID 108 may be optionally established. In one example, the connection may be established when the user 114 first operates the messaging software 102 and/or the data payload execution platform 104. In another embodiment, the connection may be established in response to an invitation sent by the messaging software 102 once the messaging software 102 has identified the presence of the data payload execution platform 104. For example, the messaging software 102 may review a list of installed app/software of the mobile device periodically. In one embodiment, the user 114 may initiate the connection between the data payload execution platform 104 and the messaging software 102. In one example, the user 114 may be using the data payload execution platform 104 and wishes to connect the two. The user 114 may click on a computer-executable link provided in the data payload execution platform 104 to make the connection. In another embodiment, the user 114 may click or select a computer-executable link provided by contents provided within the data payload execution platform 104. For example, suppose the data payload execution platform 104 is a payment processing platform and may include a checkout or wallet app associated therewith. The user 114 may, through the checkout/wallet app, add or associate his or her bank accounts, credit card accounts, or the like in the data payload execution platform 104. When accessing contents in the checkout/wallet app, the user 114 may review and select computer-executable links therein and one of such computer-executable links may request the permission of the user 114 to connect the messaging software 102 with the data payload execution platform 104.

Of course, such connection between the data payload execution platform 104 and the messaging software 102 make a variety of message-based features from the data payload execution platform 104, such as chat-based account alerts and notifications, to the user 114 via the messaging software 102. At the same time, in another example, the connection may enable message-based customer support, message-based card linked offers and conversational commerce to the user 114 via the messaging software 102. As such, the data payload execution platform 104 may fully leverage the existing capabilities of the messaging software 102 and the messaging software 102 may adaptively and also seamlessly provide the user 114 using information from the data payload execution platform 104.

In an alternative embodiment, the connection between the data payload execution platform 104 and the messaging software 102 may be established after an internal connection has been made in the data payload execution platform 104. For example, the user 114 may first make sub-account connections within the data payload execution platform 104. For example, the user 114 may have a number of financial accounts, loyalty accounts, or the like managed by the data payload execution platform 104. As such, the data payload execution platform 104 may become the central depository for the user 114 of these accounts. In such an embodiment, the user 114 may further give permission or authorization to the data payload execution platform 104 to link with the messaging software 102. This authorization or permission may give the data payload execution platform 104 access to chat based services and commerce across all of their bank relationships that the user 114 has previously connected. With this embodiment, the data payload execution platform 104 may further manage all of the message software 102's integration and identity linking and management on behalf of the sub-accounts. This link further efficiently and significantly reduces the cost/effort to the sub-accounts to take advantages of the capabilities and functions of the messaging software 102.

In addition to the approaches that the data payload execution platform 104 and the messaging software 102, there may be other methods to connect the data payload execution platform 104 and the messaging software 102. One of such methods involve the merchant 106. In such an example, the merchant process 106 may, through the web portal of the merchant 106 or an artificial intelligent or bot of the merchant 106, request credentials (such as sending a signal) from the messaging software 102. In one example, the merchant 106 may submit such request via an API published by the messaging software 102. In response from such request from the merchant 106, the messaging software 102 issues instructions or calls (such as sending a signal) to the data payload execution platform 102. The instructions or calls, may include information for a number of objects that are responsive to the request from the merchant 106. For example, if the merchant 106's request includes a request to conduct a business with the user 114 through the messaging software 102, the call or instruction to the data payload execution platform 102 from the messaging software 102 may then include a listing of cards/accounts that may be capable to conduct such business along with addresses associated therefore. In another embodiment, in order to protect the privacy of the user 114, the messaging software 102 may only receive a representation of the cards only, and not the actual payment authorization number (PAN) or payment authorization token.

The data payload execution platform 104 responds to the instructions or call from the messaging software 102 and the messaging software 102 subsequently sends the response (such as sending a signal) to the user 114 such that the user 114 may directly respond in the messaging software 102. For example, the user 114 may select card/address within the messaging software 102. In another embodiment, the user 114 may further select any additional information that may be sent along from the data payload execution platform 104 to the messaging software 102. For example, the user 114 may additionally select objects, such as loyalty program cards, accounts, or other information to be passed to the merchant 106.

In an alternative embodiment, the user 114 may setup additional security measures within the messaging software 102 such as authentication via biometric (via the mobile device), one-time-password, etc., such that future processing may be more convenient.

Once the user selects the desirable choice, in one embodiment, the selection is transmitted back to the data payload execution platform 104 for one more confirmation. The data payload execution platform 104 may next transmit a signal to the messaging software 102 with the confirmation. This signal may then trigger the messaging software 102 to send the confirmation to the merchant 106. Using this confirmation, the merchant 106 may further compose a processing confirmation that includes the earlier confirmation from the data payload execution platform 104 and other data packets that are relevant and pertinent to the business. This processing confirmation is next transmitted to the data payload execution platform 102 and the data payload execution platform 104 may process the processing confirmation and respond thereto to the merchant 106.

Referring now to FIG. 3, a diagram illustrates an exemplary data structure of a data packet transmitted supplied by a messaging software/app according to one embodiment of the invention. The data structure 300 may include at least one of the following data fields for storing data that may be used by and consumed by the messaging software 102. For example, the data structure 300 includes a data field for storing a messaging ID 302, a platform ID 304, service code(s) 306, alert trigger (on/off) 308, and a support link/parameter 310. In one embodiment, the service code(s) 306 may include a list of codes of services provided by the messaging software 102. In another embodiment, the support link/parameter 310 may include data, computer-executable link that the messaging software 102 may include in its data packets.

Referring now to FIG. 4, a diagram illustrates an exemplary data structure 400 of a data packet to be consumed by a data payload execution platform according to embodiments of the invention. In one example, the data structure 400 may include one or more of the following data fields: a platform ID 402, a platform sub-account information 404, service code(s) 406, alert trigger (on/off) 408, support link/parameter 410, messaging service code(s) 412, and messaging support link/parameter 414. In one embodiment, the support link/parameter 410 may include link, computer-executable link to an artificial intelligence (“AI”) of the data payload execution platform 104 that may be instantiated in the messaging software 102 to provide support to the user 114. Similarly, the messaging support link/parameter 414 may provide a similar AI associated with the messaging software 102 to identify message-based or chat-based services within the data payload execution platform 102.

Referring now to FIG. 5, a diagram illustrates an exemplary data structure 500 of a data packet submitted by a provider according to one embodiment of the invention. In one embodiment, the merchant 106 may be a provider. In one embodiment, the data structure 500 may include one or more data fields include at least the following: a provider ID 502, provider account 504, content data and parameter 506, authentication 508, messaging ID 510, user information, 512 and provider support link/parameter 514. In one example, the content data and parameter 506 includes information or data associated with the goods or services provided by the merchant 106. For example, suppose the merchant 106 conducts transactions with the user 114. As such, the content data and parameter 506 may include information or data such as a description of the goods, the price of the goods, the quantity of the goods, etc. In one embodiment, the provider support link/parameter 514 may provide an AI associated with the merchant 106 to identify message-based or chat-based services within the merchant 106.

In another embodiment, the merchant 106 may further include other fields or information than those in the data structure 500. For example, the merchant 106 may previously enroll with the data payload execution platform 104. In this case, the merchant 106 may include a computer-executable link to a profile established with the data payload execution platform 104 as part of the authentication field 508. With such example, the messaging software 102 may in turn, upon receive the data packet from the merchant 106, include such profile link when communicating with the data payload execution platform 104.

In another embodiment, the merchant 106 may establish a separate profile directly with the messaging software 102. For example, such profile may include information such as the name of the merchant 106, as well as possible information, while meeting the security or privacy criteria established by the merchant 106, from the messaging software 102 may be accepted. For example, the merchant 106 may include in the profile which credit card, types of credit cards (e.g., cards issued from one country v. another) and currencies the merchant 106 may accept; location where the merchant 106 may ship any products or items to and other common configuration settings.

With such profile between the merchant 106 and the messaging software 102, the messaging software 102 may enroll the merchant 106 automatically to the data payload execution platform 104 because of the previously established relationship. In a further embodiment, the data payload execution platform 104 may even further enable or add decryption keys back to the merchant 106 so the merchant 106 may decrypt payloads from the data payload execution platform 104.

In another embodiment, a third party, such as another solution provider platform, may have already registered or linked with the merchant 106, as well as other members of the third party, on behalf of the merchant 106. Suppose this third party then establish a connection with the messaging software 102. With this connection, the third party wishes to enable the capabilities of the messaging software 102 to all of its members, and in turn, gain access to the data payload execution platform 104. In such an embodiment, the merchant 106 may then include information of the third party, as well as the messaging ID of the third party with the messaging software 102 in the data structure 500. From this approach, members of the third party would not miss out the opportunity to be connected with the messaging software 102 and the data payload execution platform 104.

FIG. 6 illustrates a flowchart of handling a messaging-centric processing according to one embodiment of the invention. At 602, receiving a request at a messaging software from a merchant. The request includes a request to access to message-based services provided by the messaging software. The request may further include information such as those in data structure 500. In another embodiment, the merchant may wish to gain access to the message-based services provided by the messaging software such that those services may be better integrated into services of the merchant. At 604, the messaging software determines if the merchant has a preexisting relationship therewith. If the determining is negative, at 606, the messaging software processes the request. If the determination is positive, the messaging software reviews the request to identify association of the pre-existing relationship. For example, as previously discussed, the merchant may already have a relationship with a third party or the data payload execution platform. Once identified, the messaging software may verify the association and identify any parameters associated with the relationship. The messaging software may grant the request at 612 and execute messaging-centric or messaging-based services therein.

Returning to 606, the messaging software may next interact with the data payload execution platform to enable access to the data payload execution platform by the merchant at 614. At 616, the messaging software may grant message-based services' access to the merchant for integration with merchant services.

FIG. 7 may be a high level illustration of a portable computing device 801 communicating with a remote computing device 841 but the application may be stored and accessed in a variety of ways.

In other embodiments, the communication may be wireless such as through Wi-Fi (802.11 standard), Bluetooth, cellular communication or near field communication devices. The communication may be direct to the computing device 841 or may be through a communication network 102 such as cellular service, through the Internet, through a private network, through Bluetooth, etc. FIG. 8 may be a simplified illustration of the physical elements that make up a portable computing device 801 and FIG. 9 may be a simplified illustration of the physical elements that make up a server type computing device 841.

FIG. 8 may be a sample portable computing device 801 that is physically configured according to be part of the system. The portable computing device 801 may have a processor 850 that is physically configured according to computer executable instructions. It may have a portable power supply 855 such as a battery which may be rechargeable. It may also have a sound and video module 860 which assists in displaying video and sound and may turn off when not in use to conserve power and battery life. The portable computing device 801 may also have volatile memory 865 and non-volatile memory 870. It may have GPS capabilities 880 that may be a separate circuit or may be part of the processor 850. There also may be an input/output bus 875 that shuttles data to and from the various user input devices such as the microphone 806, the camera 808 and other inputs, such as the input pad 804, the display 802, and the speakers 810, etc. It also may control of communicating with the networks, either through wireless or wired devices. Of course, this is just one embodiment of the portable computing device 801 and the number and types of portable computing devices 801 is limited only by the imagination.

As a result of the system, better information may be provided to a user at a point of sale. The information may be user specific and may be required to be over a threshold of relevance. As a result, users may make better informed decisions. The system is more than just speeding a process but uses a computing system to achieve a better outcome.

The physical elements that make up the remote computing device 841 may be further illustrated in FIG. 9. At a high level, the computing device 841 may include a digital storage such as a magnetic disk, an optical disk, flash storage, non-volatile storage, etc. Structured data may be stored in the digital storage such as in a database. The server 841 may have a processor 1000 that is physically configured according to computer executable instructions.

In some embodiments, the application may be on the local computing device 801 and in other embodiments, the application may be remote 841. Of course, this is just one embodiment of the server 841 and the number and types of portable computing devices 841 is limited only by the imagination.

The claimed system and method may address several technical problems and challenges, some of which are described. Currently, entering potential sensitive data across networks makes users nervous to the point that a sale may be lost or money or time saving tips or coupons may not be received. By using a proprietary network such as a payment network, to transfer potentially sensitive data, security may be higher and users may be more open to joining additional beneficial programs. Similarly, moving data from one payment system to another loyalty system has felt risky to some users, but by using a proprietary, trusted network, the data may be communicated in a more trustworthy fashion. In addition, formatting data and communicating data in a manner which may be understood by a variety of additional programs is a technical challenge or problem which the system and method has addressed.
